  • THE HISTORY of the BATSTO Post Office by Arne Englund
    Arne Englund ~ HISTORY OF BATSTO PO THE HISTORY of the BATSTO Post Office By Arne Englund The cover shown in Figure 1 is the first reported example of the stampless-era Batsto, NJ CDS. At NOJEX in 2013 I asked one of the cover dealers if he had any New Jersey covers, and he replied that he only had a few, which he’d just acquired. This cover was on the top of the small stack, where it stayed for all of about two seconds(!). Fig. 1. Recently discovered Batsto CDS used in the stampless era, estimated usage between 1853 and 1855, on an envelope addressed to Mr. Sam’l W. Gaskill in Mays Landing. The red BATSTO JAN 10 N.J. CDS measures 30mm. The matching red PAID 3 handstamp measures 22mm. Closeups of each are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Fig. 2: Red CDS not listed in Coles or the Fig. 3: Red Paid marking Coles Update. The cover is not dated, but as the Batsto Post Office was opened June 28, 1852, and as mandatory prepayment of postage by U.S. postage stamps was enacted in March of 1855, the envelope would then date between 1853 and 1855.

Together, they are a representative sampling of the range of manuscript collections at HSP, but scholars are urged to pursue fruitful lines of inquiry to locate and use the scores of additional materials in each area that is surveyed here. There are numerous helpful unprinted guides at HSP that index or describe large collections. Some of these are listed below, especially when they point in numerous directions for research. In addition, the HSP has a printed Guide to the Manuscript Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP: Philadelphia, 1991), which includes an index of proper names; it is not especially helpful for searching specific topics, item names, of subject areas. In addition, entries in the Guide are frequently too brief to explain the richness of many collections. Finally, although the on-line guide to the manuscript collections is generally a reproduction of the Guide, it is at present being updated, corrected, and expanded. This survey does not contain a separate section on land acquisition, surveying, usage, conveyance, or disputes, but there is much information about these subjects in the individual collections reviewed below.

  • Samuel Wetherill, Joseph Wharton, and the Founding of the ^American Zinc Industry
    Samuel Wetherill, Joseph Wharton, and the Founding of the ^American Zinc Industry HE TWO people most closely associated with the founding of the zinc industry in the United States were the Philadel- Tphians Samuel Wetherill (i821-1890) and Joseph Wharton (1826-1909). From 1853 to about i860 they variously cooperated and competed with each other in setting up commercially successful plants for making zinc oxide and metallic zinc for the Pennsylvania and Lehigh Zinc Company at South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Both did their work in the face of an established and successful zinc industry in Europe. Accordingly, they looked to Europe for standards governing efficiency of production, quality of product, and the arts of management and marketing. They had to surpass at least some of these standards in order to establish the domestic industry on a firm basis. Zinc is a blue to grey metal found in deposits throughout the world. It is used for thousands of products, for example, in the fields of medicine, cosmetics, die casting alloys, galvanizing of iron, paint, rubber, ceramics, plastics, chemicals, and heavy metals. It ranks "only behind aluminum and copper in order of consumption among the nonferrous metals."1 In short, it has from an early stage in the Industrial Revolution been essential to the maintenance and progress of a technological society. The industry has two main branches. One is the manufacture of zinc oxide. The other is the making of metallic zinc or spelter, as it is called in the trade. These industries are relatively new in the western world. Portuguese and Dutch traders brought spelter to Europe from the Orient about the seventeenth century.

  • Malleability and Metallography of Nickel
    T281 MALLEABILITY AND METALLOGRAPHY OF NICKEL By P. D. Merica and R. G. Waltenberg ABSTRACT In the manufacture of " malleable " products of nickel and certain nickel alloys, such as forgings, rolled shapes, and castings, rather unusual metallur- gical treatments of the molten metal are resorted to in order that the cast product may be sufficiently malleable and ductile for the subsequent forging operations. The principal feature of these treatments is the addition to the molten metal before casting of manganese and magnesium. Ordinary furnace nickel without these additions will give a casting, in general, which is not malleable either hot or cold. It is demonstrated that such " untreated " nickel, or nickel alloys, are brit- tle because of the presence of small amounts of sulphur—as little as 0.005 per cent. This sulphur is combined with the nickel as Ni3 S2 , which collects in the form of thin and brittle films around the grains of nickel. This sulphide also melts (as an eutectic with nickel) at a very low temperature, about G30° C. Hence, at all temperatures the cohesion between the nickel grains is either completely destroyed or at least impaired by the presence of these films of sulphide, and the metal is brittle. Both manganese and magnesium react with molten NuS- to form sulphides of manganese or of magnesium. The latter, in particular, has a very high melt- ing point and. in addition, assumes a form of distribution in the metal mass which affects the malleability but slightly, viz, that of small equiaxed particles uniformly distributed throughout the metal grains.

  • The Wharton-Fitler House
    The Wharton-Fitler House A history of 407 Bank Avenue, Riverton, New Jersey Prepared by Roger T. Prichard for the Historical Society of Riverton, rev. November 30, 2019 © Historical Society of Riverton 407 Bank Avenue in 2019 photo by Roger Prichard This house is one of the ten riverbank villas which the founders of Riverton commissioned from architect Samuel Sloan, built during the spring and summer of 1851, the first year of Riverton’s existence. It looks quite different today than when built, due to an expansion in the 1880s. Two early owners, Rodman Wharton and Edwin Fitler, Jr., were from families of great influence in many parts of American life. Each had a relative who was a mayor of the City of Philadelphia. Page 1 of 76 The first owner of this villa was Philadelphian Rodman Wharton, the youngest of those town founders at age 31 and, tragically, the first to die. Rodman Wharton was the scion of several notable Philadelphia Quaker families with histories in America dating to the 1600s. Tragically, Rodman Wharton’s life here was brief. He died in this house at the age of 34 on July 20, 1854, a victim of the cholera epidemic which swept Philadelphia that summer. After his death, the house changed hands several times until it was purchased in 1882 by Edwin, Jr. and Nannie Fitler. Edwin was the son of Philadelphia’s popular mayor of the same name who managed the family’s successful rope and cordage works in Bridesburg. The Fitlers immediately enlarged and modernized the house, transforming its simpler 1851 Quaker appearance to a fashionable style today known as Queen Anne.
